The Parts Information, Service Procedure and Warranty Transaction Information sections have been revised for the Keys for Life Program. The customer notice has also been updated to advise customers not to attempt to reprogram any old slotted keys still in their possession. Dealers should discard all copies of the previous notice and begin using the updated notice. Please discard all copies of bulletin 14113D.

When a customer calls for a service appointment, they should be reminded to bring all keys for their vehicle with them when they come to your dealership for this repair. Also, on the last page of this bulletin is an important notice that must be provided to each customer when they return for their vehicle.

Vehicles involved in this safety recall are also involved in safety recall 13454, 14063 or 14092. Check the Investigate Vehicle History (IVH) screen in the GM Global Warranty Management (GWM) system to determine which additional field action is applicable. Perform the service procedure provided in that bulletin in conjunction with the repair described in this bulletin. In the interest of customer satisfaction and to assist with dealer throughput, recall repairs for 14113 and 13454, 14063 or 14092 should be performed in a single visit.

CONDITION

General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in all 2005- 2010 model year (MY) Chevrolet Cobalt, 2006-2011 MY Chevrolet HHR, 2007-2010 MY Pontiac G5, 2006-2010 MY Pontiac Solstice, 2003-2007 MY Saturn Ion, and 2007-2010 MY Saturn Sky vehicles. Some of these vehicles may have a condition in which the ignition key may be removed when the ignition is not in the “Off” position. If the ignition key is removed when the ignition is not in the “Off” position, unintended vehicle motion may occur: (a) for an automatic transmission, if the transmission is not in “Park”; or (b) for a manual transmission, if the parking brake is not

Page 2 March 2015 Bulletin No.: 14113E engaged and the transmission is not in reverse gear. This could result in a vehicle crash and occupant or pedestrian injuries.

General Motors has also determined that all 2005 and some 2006 MY Chevrolet Cobalt vehicles and all 2003-2004 MY Saturn Ion vehicles may fail to conform to FMVSS 114, Theft Prevention and Rollaway Prevention, as a result of this condition.

Whenever a customer contacts you about the recalls it is imperative that you remind them of the following:

Until the recall repairs have been performed, it is very important that you remove all items from your key ring, leaving only the vehicle key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from your key ring. Also, when exiting your vehicle, always make sure your vehicle is in “Park”, or in the case of a manual transmission, put the transmission into reverse gear. Always set the parking brake. After the repairs, only use the new round hole keys and rings that have been provided to you by your dealer. Destroy any old slotted keys you still have that have not been turned into your GM dealer. Your GM dealer will provide replacement keys for your vehicle free of charge for the life of the vehicle. If you obtain an ignition key elsewhere, always use a key of the exact same design as the repair key, including the shape, and size, and with only a round key hole.

Also, please request that they bring all keys and key fobs for their vehicle with them when they come to your dealership for the repairs.

CORRECTION

Dealers will replace the ignition cylinder, then cut and, if necessary, re-learn two new ignition keys and attach the provided key ring to each key.

Note: GM records indicate that these vehicles (subject to recall 14113) were built with the defective ignition cylinder and have not previously had the ignition cylinder replaced with the redesigned part. Dealers will replace the ignition cylinder, then cut and, if necessary, re-learn two new ignition/door keys for each vehicle. All of these vehicles require the ignition switch to be replaced (under recall 13454, 14063 or 14092), in conjunction with replacing the ignition cylinder and the two ignition keys. Note: Vehicles that were built with the redesigned ignition cylinder or had the ignition cylinder replaced with the redesigned part are subject to a different recall (14133), where dealers will cut and, if necessary, re-learn two ignition keys only, in addition to replacing the ignition switch (under recall 13454, 14063 or 14092).

VEHICLES INVOLVED

All involved vehicles are identified by Vehicle Identification Number on the Investigate Vehicle History screen in the GM Global Warranty Management system. Dealership service personnel should always check this site to confirm vehicle involvement prior to beginning any required inspections and/or repairs. It is important to routinely use this tool to verify eligibility because not all similar vehicles may be involved regardless of description or option content.

For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared and will be provided to U.S. and Canadian dealers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports,

Page 3 March 2015 Bulletin No.: 14113E or sent directly to export dealers. Dealers will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles currently assigned.

The listing may contain customer names and addresses obtained from Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any purpose other than follow-up necessary to complete this recall is a violation of law in several states/provinces/countries. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this report to the follow- up necessary to complete this recall.

PART INFORMATION

The parts required to complete this recall are to be obtained from General Motors Customer Care and Aftersales (GMCCA). Please refer to your “involved vehicles listing” before ordering parts. Normal orders should be placed on a DRO = Daily Replenishment Order. In an emergency situation, parts should be ordered on a CSO = Customer Special Order.

In order to simplify the dealer ordering process for all ignition switch recall parts, effective December 15, 2014, direct dealer ordering of a required part kit will be available. Dealers will no longer be required to provide the ignition switch part number (23228993 or 23215459), as a CSO order, with the VIN in the notes field to obtain the correct kit.

To assist dealers in determining the correct kit part number to order, we have created an Ignition Switch Ordering Tool. This tool is located in GM GlobalConnect on the Parts Workbench application and will provide the correct kit part number based on the VIN entered. For part number 23232575 or 23232576, in instances where stock is on-hand, please see the table below for the applicable kit part number.

Note: Kits ordered through GMCCA will contain the parts required to complete this recall as well as to complete safety recall 13454, 14063 or 14092, whichever is applicable. Kit part numbers 23232575 and 23232576 are not included in the Ignition Switch Ordering Tool and referencing this table is necessary to match 23232575 and 23232576 with the correct vehicle.

Keys for Life Program

The Keys for Life Program allows dealers to satisfy future customer requests for additional ignition keys. This means dealers will provide replacement ignition keys to vehicle owners free of charge for the life of the vehicle regardless of when the vehicle was originally placed in service or its current mileage. Dealers are also to attach a 16mm key ring to each new ignition key. Service key and key ring part numbers are provided below. Note that key rings are provided 4 per package and each package will service 4 ignition keys.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

Service Procedure Overview

It is important to only utilize the “Replacing Keys” procedure in SI when performing this service procedure. Do not use the “Adding Keys” procedure. Using only the replace key procedure will erase all previously learned ignition keys from the theft deterrent module (TDM) rendering them unusable which is essential to the successful completion of this safety recall. All previously learned ignition keys must be destroyed and not be returned to the customer. If a customer does not bring all of the ignition keys to the service appointment, it is important to inform the customer not to use the key and to immediately destroy or return the key the dealership.

CAUTION: To avoid part damage carefully read and follow the instructions below.

Page 5 March 2015 Bulletin No.: 14113E

 Refer to the appropriate model and model year service procedure in Service Information (SI) BEFORE removing or replacing an ignition switch or key lock cylinder.  If replacing both the ignition lock cylinder and the ignition and start switch, always replace the ignition and start switch first before removing the ignition lock cylinder, as misalignment between the ignition and start switch housing and the ignition and start switch will occur, resulting in permanent damage to the ignition and start switch.  In order to allow the ignition and start switch to be removed or installed, always ensure the ignition lock cylinder is in the RUN position. Once the ignition and start switch is removed, do not move or turn the ignition lock cylinder during the procedure, as misalignment between the ignition and start switch housing and the ignition and start switch will occur, resulting in permanent damage to the ignition and start switch.  Never rotate the actuator shaft on the ignition and start switch as permanent damage to the ignition and start switch will occur.  When installing the ignition and start switch, if the switch does not freely slide into position, slightly rotate the ignition key clockwise and then counterclockwise while very lightly pressing on the ignition and start switch until it is fully seated.  If a key learn procedure or programming event is required, use a Tech 2 or Tech 2 WIN scan tool. Note: Vehicles involved in this safety recall are also involved in safety recall 13454, 14063 or 14092. Check the Investigate Vehicle History (IVH) screen in the GM Global Warranty Management (GWM) system to determine which additional field action is applicable. Perform the service procedure provided in that bulletin in conjunction with the repair described in this bulletin.

874786 1. Remove the ignition lock cylinder. Refer to Ignition Lock Cylinder Replacement in SI. Note: For ignition lock cylinder assembly and coding, use the instructions provided with the new cylinder. Refer to Corporate Bulletin 10-00-89-009B (USA) or 10-00-89-010 (Canada) for key code security guidelines and key code access information. GMODC locations should contact their local TAC. To properly seat the new ignition lock cylinder into the housing, the key must be inserted and turned to the RUN position. 2. Install a new ignition lock cylinder. Refer to Ignition Lock Cylinder Replacement in SI.

Page 6 March 2015 Bulletin No.: 14113E

3. Cut two new ignition/door keys and attach the provided key ring to each key. Note: Use a Tech 2 or a Tech 2 WIN scan tool to perform a key learn or programming event. 4. Program the new keys to the vehicle, if required. Refer to” Replacing Keys” in SI. The following vehicles do NOT require any KEY programming: 2003-2007 MY Saturn Ion 2005 MY Chevrolet Cobalt 2005 MY Pontiac Pursuit Note: Verify key function in the ignition cylinder as well as all door and trunk lock cylinders prior to delivery to the customer. If the replacement key will not work in the doors or trunk of the vehicle, refer to Replacement Key Modification in this bulletin. Note: Do not return the old keys to the customer. These keys must be destroyed and not reused. Inform the customer to destroy and not use any keys that were not brought in for this repair. 5. Complete final function check. With key in off position, verify that key can be inserted and removed with normal operating effort. Rotate key through full operating positions and verify that key rotates with normal operating effort. With key in run position, firmly pull the key to verity it cannot be pulled out of the ignition cylinder. Return key to off position and remove key. Final function check complete. If any of the prior checks are not completed successfully, then verify correct assembly, coding and installation of lock cylinder and repeat final function check. If symptoms repeat, call the GM Product Quality Center (PQC) at 866-654-7654 for assistance.

6. Assemble the new key(s), the key fob(s) and the ½” key ring together.

Replacement Key Modification For the Saturn Ion only, if the replacement key profile is wider near the key head than the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) key, and it may only work in the ignition lock cylinder and not in the doors or trunk. The replacement key may require modification BEFORE it can be used to open a vehicle door or trunk. Perform the Key Modification procedure in this bulletin if the replacement key will not open the doors or trunk of the vehicle.

3816569

Note: GM Dealers should NOT replace door and trunk lock cylinders or provide two sets of keys (one for the ignition and one for the doors / trunk) to the vehicle owner for this condition.

Page 7 March 2015 Bulletin No.: 14113E

1. Using a file, remove the extra width of key near the over molded head as shown in blue (1) in the photograph above. Removing this material makes the width of the key 8.3mm (same as the OEM key) rather than 10mm. This will allow the key to enter fully into the door and trunk lock cylinders.

3817005

Note: Without the modification, the key stops on the shoulder and will not fully enter the key lock cylinder. Refer to the photograph.

2. Verify key function in the ignition cylinder as well as all door and trunk lock cylinders prior to delivery to the customer. 3.

Page 8 March 2015 Bulletin No.: 14113E

After the vehicle is repaired and returned to the customer, it is very important to review and give them a copy of the notice provided on the last page of this bulletin. During the review, you should emphasize the following points:

 All original or previously reproduced keys should be destroyed.

 Customers have received new keys with a small round hole (rather than a slot) and a new 13mm (1/2”) key ring that are designed to further reduce any risk of inadvertently moving the ignition key position.

 Any additional keys can be obtained free of charge from a GM dealer. Customers will receive a follow-up communication with details. Please note: Additional key will be made available once initial recall demands are met.

 If you replace a vehicle key, always use a key of the exact same design as the repair key, including shape, size and key hole.

 Use only the single (1/2”) key ring that is small and light and does not make contact with you or parts of the vehicle while driving. Keep no more than one or two essential keys and the key fob (if equipped) on the ring. Do not attach anything else to the key ring.

 Do not attempt to reprogram any old slotted keys you may still have in your possession. These keys must be turned into your GM dealer or destroyed.

 Finally, please ask customers to review the video message from Jeff Boyer, Vice President, Global Vehicle Safety posted on www.GMIgnitionUpdate.com. It provides additional background on the extensive testing General Motors has done, as well as important reminders consistent with the information above.

Keys for Life Program

1. Cut one new ignition/door key and attach a 16mm key ring.

Note: Use a Tech 2 or a Tech 2 WIN scan tool to perform a key learn or programming event.

2. Program the new keys to the vehicle, if required. Refer to” Replacing Keys” in SI.

The 2003-2007 model year Saturn Ion, 2005 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac Pursuit vehicles do NOT require any key programming. Note: Verify key function in the ignition cylinder as well as all door and trunk lock cylinders prior to delivery to the customer. If the replacement key will not work in the doors or trunk of the vehicle, refer to Replacement Key Modification in this bulletin.

Note: Do not return the old keys to the customer. These keys must be destroyed and not reused. Inform the customer to destroy and not use any keys that were not brought in for this repair.

DEALER RECALL RESPONSIBILITY – For U.S. and Export (U.S. States, Territories, and Possessions)

It is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by this notification under a sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is remedied.

The US National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act provides that each vehicle that is subject to a recall of this type must be adequately repaired within a reasonable time after the customer has tendered it for repair. A failure to repair within sixty days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. If the condition is not adequately repaired within a reasonable time, the customer may be entitled to an identical or reasonably equivalent vehicle at no charge or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation. To avoid having to provide these burdensome remedies, every effort must be made to promptly schedule an appointment with each customer and to repair their vehicle as soon as possible. In the recall notification letters, customers are told how to contact the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration if the recall is not completed within a reasonable time.

DEALER RECALL RESPONSIBILITY – All

All unsold new vehicles in dealers' possession and subject to this recall must be held and inspected/repaired per the service procedure of this recall bulletin before customers take possession of these vehicles.

Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this recall at no charge to customers, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time forward.

Customers who have recently purchased vehicles sold from your vehicle inventory, and for which there is no customer information indicated on the dealer listing, are to be contacted by the dealer. Arrangements are to be made to make the required correction according to the instructions contained in this bulletin. Recall follow-up cards should not be used for this purpose, since the customer may not as yet have received the notification letter.

In summary, whenever a vehicle subject to this recall enters your vehicle inventory, or is in your dealership for service in the future, you must take the steps necessary to be sure the recall correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the tools, We Support equipment, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to Voluntary Technician your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL

April 2014

Dear Customer:

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

General Motors has decided that one or more defects as described below which relate to motor vehicle safety exist in all 2005-2007 model year (MY) Chevrolet Cobalt, 2006-2007 MY Chevrolet HHR, 2007 MY Pontiac G5, 2006-2007 MY Pontiac Solstice, 2003-2007 MY Saturn Ion, and 2007 MY Saturn Sky vehicles. As a result, GM is conducting a recall. We apologize for this inconvenience. However, we are concerned about your safety and continued satisfaction with our products.

IMPORTANT  This notice applies to your 2005-2007 model year (MY) Chevrolet Cobalt, 2006-2007 MY Chevrolet HHR, 2007 MY Pontiac G5, 2006- 2007 MY Pontiac Solstice, 2003-2007 MY Saturn Ion, or 2007 MY Saturn Sky vehicle VIN:______.  Parts needed for the recall repairs are becoming available for dealers to order. Please contact your GM dealer to schedule an appointment to have the recall repairs performed on your vehicle.  Until the recall repairs have been performed, it is very important that you remove all items from your key ring, leaving only the vehicle key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. Also, when exiting your vehicle, always make sure your vehicle is in “Park”, or in the case of a manual transmission, put the transmission into reverse gear and set the parking brake.  The recall repairs will be performed for you at no charge.

Why is your There is a risk, under certain conditions, that your ignition switch may vehicle being move out of the “run” position, resulting in a partial loss of electrical recalled? power and turning off the engine. This risk increases if your key ring is carrying added weight (such as more keys or the key fob) or your vehicle experiences rough road conditions or other jarring or impact related events. If the ignition switch is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury or fatality.

Some of these vehicles may also have a condition in which the ignition key may be removed when the ignition is not in the “Off”

position. If the ignition key is removed when the ignition is not in the “Off” position, unintended vehicle motion may occur: (a) for an automatic transmission, if the transmission is not in “Park”; or (b) for a manual transmission, if the parking brake is not engaged and the transmission is not in reverse gear. This could result in a vehicle crash and occupant or pedestrian injuries.

What will we Your GM dealer will replace the ignition switch on your vehicle do? whether it is the original switch or a replacement. For vehicles that have not previously had an ignition cylinder replacement under warranty, dealers will replace the ignition cylinder. Dealers will also cut and, if necessary, re-learn two ignition/door keys for each vehicle. This service will be performed for you at no charge. Because of service scheduling requirements, it is likely that your dealer will need your vehicle longer than the actual service correction time of approximately 90 minutes.

When the vehicle is returned to the customer, it is very important to review and give them a copy of the notice provided below. Please reproduce locally.

Dear General Motors Customer: As part of the repairs to your vehicle for the ignition switch and ignition cylinder safety recalls, you have been provided new keys with a round hole (rather than a slot) on new 13mm (1/2”) key rings. These components are specifically designed to work together for your safety. Only use the new keys and rings that have been provided to you by your dealer. Destroy any old slotted keys you still have that have not been turned into your GM dealer. Your GM dealer will provide replacement keys for your vehicle free of charge for the life of the vehicle. If you obtain an ignition key elsewhere, always use a key of the exact same design as the repair key, including shape, size and key hole. Use only the single (1/2”) key ring provided by your GM dealer. It is small and light to help prevent contact with you or parts of the vehicle while driving. Keep no more than one or two essential keys and the key fob (if equipped) on the ring. Do not attach anything else to the key ring. A heavy or large key ring or chain, or items on the ring or chain that contact vehicle components or the driver MUST be avoided because they can affect the safe operation of the vehicle.

Remember:  Only use keys with a small round hole (1) and not a slot (2)  Use only a ½” diameter key ring (provided by your GM dealer)  Only include 1 or 2 keys plus your key fob  Don’t attach extra items to your key ring  Contact your dealer if you need new keys  Do not attempt to reprogram any old slotted keys you may still have in your possession. These keys must be turned into your GM dealer or destroyed. Please share this information with any other drivers of the vehicle and keep this letter in your glove box so that it will be always be available for reference for current or future operators. Finally, please review the video message from Jeff Boyer, Vice President, Global Vehicle Safety posted on www.GMIgnitionUpdate.com. It provides additional background on the extensive testing General Motors has done, as well as important reminders consistent with the information above.
